Summary of Dr. Chung Hwan Kwak's report:

The Washington Times 25th anniversary gala represents True
Parents' consummate victory of the 34 years they dedicated in
America. When communism was making its final attack in 1982 True
Parents were the first non-American to establish a newspaper company,
the Washington Times, at the capital of the United States of America.
In a video message, Ronald Reagan, the 40th president of the United
States, testified that True Parents played an important role in
defending freedom in America and throughout the world. George H.W.
Bush, the 41st president of the United States, was at the event and
expressed his sincere congratulations to True Parents.

The president was given 20 minutes to speak but he spoke for more
than 40 minutes, sharing his heart with the audience that day. The UN
secretary-general, Ki-moon Ban also sent a message congratulating the
event. Yet, what most stirred the 1,200 participants that day was the
video message from Lady Margaret Thatcher, former prime minister of
the United Kingdom. Lady Thatcher emphasized the role of the
Washington Times referring to its unwavering stand against Soviet
Communism and the support it gave to President Reagan and myself at
the end of the Cold War.' Many of the Korean leaders that
participated were deeply inspired by the event. They were speechless
and totally amazed to see key figures in America expressing their
utmost respect and admiration to True Parents on the occasion of the
founding of the Washington Times.

The draw for the Peace Cup tournament was held last month. Many
world-renowned football clubs had expressed their desire to take part
in the Peace Cup tournament. However, there were some difficulties
due to the clubs' schedule and expense-related issues. The support
True Parents has been giving to youth football through the Peace Cup
is becoming well-known throughout the world. In 2009 we are planning
to host the Peace Cup in Europe. Another club tournament, the A3 Cup
Tournament brings together the league champions from professional
football leagues in Korea, Japan and China. In this tournament two
teams from China, the host nation, one team from Korea and one team
from Japan will be playing against each other. Korea has won the
championship tournament three times; Japan once. Lately, the Chinese
team has rapidly improved in its performance. The tournament this
time will not be an easy win.

The World Culture and Sports Festival will take place from July
1st to the 11th. The opening ceremony will be held on July 4th. The
blessing ceremony will be held on July 5th.

On the first day of this month, I was instructed by True Father to
prepare a conference in Hawaii (from June 17th to the 22nd). We are
currently inviting former and current diplomats to this conference.

True Father emphasized that we should bring these diplomats even
it if means utilizing the press.

Summary of Rev. Sun Jo Hwang's report:

True Parents have returned victoriously to Korea after being away
for 27 days. Before leaving Korea for America True Father instructed
to have 2,000 families from Korea, 2,000 families from Japan and 200
families from the United States to go out to the world and hold
rallies to declare the beginning of the new civilization of cosmic
peace. Each nation should work to lay the foundation for their nation
to be admitted into the [Abel-type] UN. The Korean church has already
gathered 2,000 families and has assigned them to a country.

The Sansoowon headquarters has been organizing two events each
year. In the spring it hosts an event as a part of bringing together
the executives and in the fall we hold local rallies in each region
of Korea. Last month, May 25th, we had a special training program for
our Sansoowon executives. The Sansoowon initiative was launched for
the purpose of replacing the secular culture of this world with a
culture of heart. Two successful cases (in Yongtong-gu Suwon and
Gochang-gun Jeonbuk) were reported this time through this training
program. There are almost 1,500 people from Yongtong-gu Suwon
registered as members of Sansoowon. They bought a tourist bus for
their activities and have shown that they were financially
independent. The Sansoowon in Gochang-gun Jeonbuk began with just 84
members but currently they have nearly 3,000.

We are currently preparing for the Blessing ceremony for three
thousand couples to be held on July 5th. We are also holding Divine
Principle workshops. 1054 participated in the 1-day Blessing
Education and 450 participated in the Divine Principle education.
There are almost 6,000 second generation members who are old enough
to receive the Blessing. The Family Department in the Korean
Headquarters formed a Parents' Committee in helping these second
generation members participate in the Blessing.
